Room recognition and requirements
Walls, doors and fixtures determine usable rooms; correct furniture counts do not guarantee valid boundaries or access.
The player's decision
Share a hall to save space or partition it for specialized requirements?
Original scenario
Original: a reading room needs enclosure, entrance and two seats; a shelf blocking the door prevents use and is highlighted.
Start with this prototype
Build an 8×6 board with reading/dining rooms. List missing enclosure, fixtures and access in real time; two agents using both rooms completes the prototype. Undo boundary edits.
Change one variable
Vary only minimum area before adding many requirements.
What to observe in a playtest
Recompute merges/splits/doors immediately and verify actual seat access.
Take the full design card
Includes rules, scope, tuning questions and sources for further planning. It does not create a project automatically.
Original analysis · version 1
Common pitfall
An unexplained invalid-room outline forces blind placement attempts.
Observations and sources
Cases refer to public documentation. Developers and community wikis are credited separately; document review is not a claim of hands-on testing.
- RimWorld
The wiki distinguishes enclosure, indoor conditions and fixture-based room roles.
- Two Point Hospital
Different treatments need appropriate rooms, machines and staff, a functional-requirement comparison.
